Hello Madison Corps Alumni members and other interested alumni,

First, we would like to acknowledge that almost all of the registered Rose Parade members who responded to our last email are sticking with us, which makes us excited to move forward in our future event exploration process. We have gathered five unique opportunities that we would like to gauge your interest in participating in, starting in 2027, with a first international performance opportunity potentially taking place in Ireland in 2028.

Note: We may even do more than one event, so please select all ideas that interest you.

Below are the five ideas for future projects, along with their corresponding links for you to conduct a more in-depth review:

1. St Patrick’s Dublin Parade (Ireland) 1.5 mi (Annually held on March 17th) - https://stpatricksfestival.ie/
2. Hollywood Christmastime Parade (CA) 3.3 mi (Evening event annually held the Sunday following Thanksgiving) - http://www.thehollywoodchristmasparade.com/
3. Pearl Harbor Parade (HI) 1.2 mi (Evening parade annually held on Dec 7th) - https://www.pearlharborparade.org/home
4. Fiesta Flambeau Parade in San Antonio (TX) 3.1 mi (Evening annually in April) - https://www.flambeau.org/
5. NYC Veterans Day Parade (NY) 1.2 mi (Annually held on November 11) - https://www.uwvc.org/parade
6. None of the above

Yes, we are still planning on participating and are simply awaiting the decision of the Rose Parade committee. We should know the results by the end of the summer. If we are accepted, we will initiate the necessary processes to secure performers. Please keep your eyes and ears open for information towards the end of the summer. Also, remember that event participation is open to alumni from the following drum corps:

*Madison Scouts
*Madison Jr. Scouts
*Capitolaires
*Capitolaire Petites
*Capital Sound
